Thanks for all the replies! It has taken a while to digest, unfortuantely I have some more questions.
I have a tunnel set up via BT Exact, the endpoint is on a Slackware Linux box with two physical network cards. After bringing the tunnel up and starting radvd I get the following addresses:- eth0, ipv4 62.232.4.232, ipv6 fe80::260:8ff:fe4e:e594/10 link eth1, no ipv4, ipv6 fe80::260:8ff:fe4e:e5c8/10 link ipv6 2001:618:400:f045::/64 Global sit0 fe80::3ee8:4e8/10 Link 2001:618:400::3ee8:4e8/128 Global The eth0 fe80 is the link local address for this physical network, /10 seems a large allocation? Same for eth1. On eth1, the 2001:618 address is the /64 subnet for the allocation I have via the tunnel, I am curious it ends in :: beacuse I would have thought this was the ipv6 equivalent of the broadcast address. If it is, do I need to put a host address on somehow? On sit0, I have a 2001...../128, I asume this is the host address for the end of the tunnel. Turning to dns, the tunnel endpoint runs a dns service with BIND 9.1x, I have added a AAAA address for phobos6.mediahub.co.uk to be the 2001:.../128 endpoint address. If I use nslookup and do a set type=AAAA, it returns the correct answer, same for the CNAME www6, but if I just do nslookup phobos6.etc from the command line I am unable to resolve anything. Also I have a name virtual host set up on apache 2.0x for the www6.mediahub.co.uk, again on the tunnel endpoint pc. The config file is syntactically correct (ie apachectl says so) but browser access time out, and the logs seem to show no access has been made. (assuming I have the logging going to the correct place). I am assuming that because dns is failing to resolve, the browser doesnot know where to go for the request. Also virtual hosting will only work for names, so just using the raw ipv6 address gets nowhere. Any comments welcome!!
